| Resumo: | The ever-increasing penetration level of renewable energy and electric vehicles may threaten power grid operation. Dealing with uncertainty in smart grids is critical in order to mitigate possible issues. This research work proposes a two-stage stochastic model for large-scale energy resources scheduling for aggregators. The proposed model is designed for aggregators managing a smart grid. The idea is to address the challenge brought by the variability of demand, renewable energy, electric vehicles, and market price variations while pursuing cost minimization. Benders’ decomposition approach is implemented to improve the tractability of the original model and its’ computational burden. A realistic case study is presented using a real distribution network in Portugal with high penetration of renewable energy and electric vehicles. The results show the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed approach when compared with a deterministic formulation and suggest that demand response and storage systems can mitigate the uncertainty.
